Expecting Kuwait to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. LIFE YOUNG EVER (1) eye-catching debut with the 4kg claimer aboard when coming from near last on the turn to finish third over 1000m at Kembla Grange on the heavy (8) track. Apprentice sticks from the better gate and the extra trip is in his favour. Go close. FRANKELY SUBLIME (4) well bred Snitzel mare resuming. Has a good fresh record and will relish the fast tempo. Placed at this course and distance and wasn't asked to do much in the two trials. Has a host of gear changes and sure to be thereabouts. SETTA ICON (2) holding his form in weaker company and gets his chance with the weight drop. Snagged back from the gate and liked the way he closed off when fourth over 1205m at the Sapphire Coast. Winkers go on from a decent gate and can take a hand in the finish. YES ARNIE (9) patiently ridden from the inside gate and savaged the line late to finish third over 1400m at Hawkesbury. Ready for this trip and worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Life Young Ever can make the necessary improvement to get the better of these.
